😀 YOU can dye your hair blue – you still wouldn’t be able to hide your authenticity!

You spend the first 50-odd years discovering who the heck you are and then you have the opportunity to be genuinely you. Doesn’t mean that you can’t practice until then though. Nice post. Authentically Patricia. (And I’ll not be dying my hair blue anymore. Thanks.)

I’m smiling ear-to-ear in agreement. Beautifully put, Millie!

Some people like to banter about authenticity when they themselves are clueless. I think of it as both effortless and joyful, a wonderful freedom. Often the real self is so covered by ego, political correctness and fashion that it shocks itself when it appears. From a 55 plus real person.

I had a professor in grad school that said you don’t really come into yourself completely until you reach 50! Easy to say now that we’re over 50 – ha. It takes an incredible amount of energy to be someone else – especially for years. I think when you finally realize that you are enough – the feeling is like the last puzzle piece finally fitting. Thanks for yet another great post!
